PLANT-IT: NASA Space Apps 2019

Welcome to PLAN-IT, an innovative space sandbox game that sparks your imagination and fuels your passion for astrophysics. Created by Team StarStruck, this game lets you create and customize your very own solar system, filled with unique and intriguing planets.

About the Game

PLAN-IT turns complex astrophysical concepts into an engaging and interactive experience. Ever wondered about the life cycle of stars, the composition of gas planets, or the different atmospheres of rocky planets? PLAN-IT offers an enjoyable introduction to these topics and more.

In PLAN-IT, you start with a star at the center of a large solar system. Around this star, you will find a menu that displays the star's properties and allows you to alter them. Interested in learning more about your star? We provide links for further reading. This interactive learning experience extends to the planets as well. Explore, customize, and learn about each planet in your solar system at your own pace.
